Richard Wright

From Masters of Deceit, J. Edgar Hoover, 1958

. . . Many Negroes . . . have learned by bitter experience how fraudulent and deceitful communists are. For example, Richard Wright, the Negro novelist, tells in the book, The God That Failed, why he rebelled against communist thought control. In describing how at the time he left the party he was assaulted on a Chicago street, he wrote, �I could not quite believe what had happened, even though my hands were smarting and bleeding. I had suffered a public, physical assaults by two white Communists with black Communists looking on.�
